The male/female reproductive system has been anatomically the same since the beginning of time. Discuss what changes/trends you think have changed over time relating to the M/F Reproductive System.
Since the beginning of time the reproductive system it self has not changed, but the ways that they are used have changed. Humans have created oral, anal, circumcisions, artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization, the camasutra, vasectomies, condoms, birth control, and abortions. So the parts are the same they just have more of a function than making babies now.
Describe how the reproductive systems are like "dominos". As discussed in class ;-)
Our reproductive system is like dominos because if something goes wrong the whole thing messes up. And since there are so many parts it’s like a cascade effect. If any one part doesn’t work correctly you can become sterile. Every part of the reproductive system has a function and without one of these glands sperm can ether be to acidic, warm, or they could just not come out. And in females, eggs could be deformed, fertilization could take place in the wrong spot, or the woman may be to skinny to have a baby.
